I sat down with Mel Leviton, director of Idaho SILC, on the Accessibility Now Podcast.

In this clip she talks about growing up not recognizing her disability, coping with language-processing challenges, being sent to the "coat closet," not speaking well until second grade, and later self-medicating and being institutionalized. Her honesty about not recognizing her own disability and how she survived is raw and important. Watch the whole episode here: https://youtu.be/4wfL8lnbMkE
